The Athenians and the 30 in the Athens

The first measures of the 30 in establishing their control over the city were carried out with cordial agreement. They began to revise, if not a the democratic laws inscribed on the wall next to the stoa basileus an the athenian agora. Also moved swiftly to eliminate every trace of the democratic navy. The shipsheds of the piraeus, built at the cost of one thousand talents, were demolished and the wood was sold to salvagers for three talents each. On the peninx hill, where the speaker's platform for meetings of the eclacea had always faced out to the sea, they ordered that it should be reversed to look inland instead.
